Pretty sure this has to be Vittoria with some skin in the DH game now..? What you guys think?

Try it. I went from a 40 mm stem and a 30 mm rise bar to a 35 mm stem and 55 mm rise bars. A world of difference (in a good way).

Here's a minor update. I took a picture just to illustrate my point. The footpeg height on the MX bike is at least comparable with the BB on my Commencal. However, note how much lower the seat is and how much higher the handlebars are. I can see why pedaling would throw some of this into turmoil (especially while seated,) but imagine coasting downhill while standing. There's a much different body position on the motorcycle, and I think it would be beneficial for DH and Enduro guys. For me, at least I think it would. Check it out:

Yeah I'm also not convinced this is a new Optic. The current one is still super up to date compared to its competitors, even though it got released in 2019. That's because it seems like every short travel 29er that has come out since basically emulated/copied the frame geometry of the Optic. There's simply no need to update it in...

Not world cup, but Norco has something new coming. T-Type, Small shock, look pretty trail to me? The Sight and Optic are fairly up to date still. Maybe a light E-bike? Revolver?

If someone wants to create a topic, I'd be up for it. I've been looking into the relation between stack and reach and bar height in general a lot lately and would love to hear you guys ideas and theories.

I only clued into this phenomenon last year but I wish I had figured this out when I started riding 10 years ago. It seems crazy at first to add so many stem spacers and to get such high rise bars but it makes a world of difference. I'm 6'2" with a 32 inseam for reference. I would say any range +/- 25mm from your seat height will work depending on conditions etc. My DH bike is slightly above seat height and my enduro bike is slightly below.

Definitely not refined enough to even consider charging people. It’s like Freecaster days with better visual images but how much is down to much better technology.

They really need to do something with the graphics too. Hard to read and riders were often shown with green timing even though they were behind. Also, I can't help but wonder if Cedric is being paid by the word.

Ok that coverage was very ordinary. Patchy sound, results list showing the elite women in junior mens, swapping from one rider to another mid run. Listening to Rick was as exciting as watching paint dry and Cedric was like a poverty Claudio. 4/10

You wanna know what I think? Ok then. I think it's really funny hat you just incorrectly assume that I have "little to no experience with, or understanding of" what I'm critizing. A friend (and neighbour) of mine is an engineer who has worked for Canyon for several years. He was actually one of the people tasked with integrating the...

Makes a lot of sense though to ban gas-powered tools in what is essentially a natural conservation area, for emission reasons. Plenty other ways to make noise.

Any women willing to weigh in here? I just showed my (mtn biker) girlfriend the ad. Her response was "those were the best butts they could get?", laughed and walked away. She was not in the least bit offended. I predict a lot of typing, talking and hand waving with no real change. Perhaps talking about it makes us feel better? This seems like a silly use of time, especially if your goal is to actually get more women riding. This won't move the needle (at all). Oh, and to those suggesting this isn't workplace safe, I'd stop using the...

This is such nonsense. You can do literally everything this system would ever achieve through the means of proper steering geometry. And to add more stability through rock gardens and such you'd want a damper, not a spring. You'd want to make sure that steering input is slowed down, not make it harder to turn the bars. A spring will...

This is such a bad idea. The point of wheel flop is that it adds stability. Rake, offset, and HTA allow a bike to "ghost ride" and this stupid system counteracts that.
